We are pleased to announce the NEW Leica FS C for toolmark/firearm/questioned
document examinations and the NEW Leica FS4000 for trace evidence
comparison. These new application system innovations establish a new
level of performance, convenience and comfort that has never before been
realized in comparison microscopy for the forensic laboratory.
Leica’s innovative intelligent automation leads the technology improvements,
with a coded nosepiece, motorized z drive with magnification correlated
speeds and lamp intensity. The new stands are designed for the digital imaging
age and have advanced ergonomics that go beyond users’ expectations.
There are so many unique features, with truly important user benefits, that
Leica establishes a NO COMPARISON position in the market. The new Leica
FS C and FS4000 represent a convenient platform that provides increased
reproducibility and improved accuracy while increasing the individual examiner’s
efficiency.
The Leica FS C Comparison Microscope makes it easy to achieve superior,
reproducible images with all new telecentric objectives, which provide the
highest resolution in the industry. The system’s built-in 1.5x
magnification changer expands the magnification range from 4x to 60x and
provides up to 8 discrete magnification settings to assure measurement
reproducibity. The user calibrates once, and the exact objective
measurement remains for the next time so that samples are examined under
identical conditions. The Leica FS C is convenient to use, and through the
automation of essential functions, the user can carry out complex tasks with
ease. For example, intelligent automation adjusts the speed of x, y, z
movement based on the objective magnification in use. The central control
module is conveniently located between the stages and provides easy access to
synchronize stage movement in the x-y-z directions, control lamp intensity,
comparison bridge positioning, and magnification changer. A single
button switches from the superimposed image to side-by-side examination.PC
interface, digital camera documentation and reproducible specimen and
microscope settings provide fast and accurate analysis. Leica’s IM1000
software offers an image database that features a comparison module as well
as a report module. The multi-focus module calculates a two dimensional
picture from several images. Leica considers user comfort in every new
microscope system. The entirely new comparison bridge design integrates a
tilting binocular tube to accommodate examiners of all statures and
facilitate easy reach and a natural body position. The automation and
motorization allows remote positioning of stage and focus controls for the
ultimate comfort.
